Biography
Biography
Giacomo Tritto was born in Altamura. He began studying music at the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini in Naples, where his teachers included Nicola Fago, Girolamo Abos, and Pasquale Cafaro. Also in Naples, in 1754, he began his career as an opera composer with the performance of the opera buffa Le nozze contrastate at the Teatro dei Fiorentini. However, advised by his teacher Cafaro not to continue his just-begun theatrical career, he left the stage for about ten years. He resumed opera composition in 1764 with the staging of Fedeltà in amore at the Teatro Nuovo (Naples). From that point on, until 1810, he composed no fewer than 54 operas.
